Opinions & experiences with the new chromecast 2015 - Google Chromecast

Hi guys,
Anyone who has the old chromecast & tried the new one & noticed a difference ??
Also please feel free to share your experiences with the new chromecast (especially screen mirroring quality)

Much better in every way. Don't want to miss it anymore

My 2 pcs of 1st gen have always worked great. No point in replacing them. Guess they have worked so great since they are rooted and never forced to be updated with buggy google version.

I just got a new one and it is better in every way.

Could you please give me an example? Why should I replace my 1st gen?

Can you check Screen mirroring?
I'm mirroring my Phone to my TV for some quick MS Office edits and it loses some frames here and there.
Can you do something similar with Chromecast 2015? Does it lag when doing whole-screen mirroring?

1 simple word: FASTER
loading is way more faster than gen1... the quality is better too, support 5GHz wifi (perfect for game in mirroring mode), boot faster....
It's not a v1.5 but a real v2! I've change my two Chromecast v1 for v2, it's day/night!

LG Optimus Black vs Google Nexus One

Hi! A friend of mine offers his nexus one + money for my OB, and, seriously, I dont know what to do, 'cause hardware in OB is way superior but there are so many cool roms for nexus one...
What is your opinion?
Thanks in advance :highfive:
the nexus. it's a google phone thus it has exclusive updates (see jb) and there is a bigger community developing for it.
But on the otherhand try to find out why he is opting for the OB
And if you play games, keep it unless the nexus becomes faster using custom roms
Anyways you see

I think the looks of the OB are awesome, so is the screen. The nexus one only is better for the software development...dunno, its hard to decide. The point is that I dont play games, so the gpu is not a deciding factor, but the smoothness of the ui and the different android versions, sense ui...

Keep your ob

Yup...waut for others to reply
If you dont care about software tweaking...go ob
And by tweaking, flashing nearly everyday, the phone is not used for its purpose
We do that for performance and theme mostly...id say stick to ob
Use it as it should have been.
.email, calender, facebook etc
Tweaks will come sooner or later

Thanks 4 your opinion! Well, I think I'm finally stickin' with the OB, lets trust in the great developers we have in xda!
nexus One = small screen, Pentile, bad camera, etc
nexus= lots of custom roms
Even with the advantage of a bigger comunity, I think that the Nexus One is a little too old.

Known problems for Galaxy Tab P7300?

Hello!
I want to buy a used Galaxy Tab P7300and I wanted to know if there are some specific problems for this device: some touchscreen issues, some display rendition issues, anything. Something similar like "black clipping" specific for galaxy note and galaxy nexus...anything
I'm waiting for your answers..
I do think it is worth highlighting the lag/smoothness which sometimes occurs when swiping between screens in TouchWiz. Other launchers help and hoping this will be addressed with ics update. This was my only concern with it out of the box. Search lag or similar in these forums and will see a few hits.
Btw, I still love mine and reckon this is the best form factor (few products in its league).
With the ics update the 7310 it is quite perfect. Super smooth and fast. Zero lang switching between homes.
I believe that the ics for the 7300 will work just like that.
The only thing that you should consider would be the nexus 7 vs the 7300.
Cheers.

Thank you for your answers. I appreciate.
I don't take the Nexus 7 in consideration because of the size (I have already a Galaxy Tab P3100), because it doesn't have a camera, a LED flash and the 3g facility.
Thanx again!

The con of the nexus 7 is indeed the size... although I just find it small when it comes to video... to the rest is quite great.
The pro is the update... it already runs JB... We are just getting ICS... a OS that came out almost a year a go...
Your choice
I just found out samsung all share and I'm overwhelmed! #win

How do you find 4.2.2

Hi guys,
I've been reading up on some nexus 7 stuff but I'm pretty new to it and was running 4.1.2 until recently, I see 4.2.2 was released but couldn't see any concrete feedback on how it compares to say custom roms like smoothrom based on 4.2.1. Do you guys find it better than say smooth rom in UI performance and battery? I'm not sure if I should change to 4.2.2 or stick with 4.2.1 custom roms with performance/smoothness tweaks for now.
Thanks
Smoother here.
I found my N7 sped up with 4.2.1 anyway when I cleared up some space. Havn't loaded it down since, so that may be the reason.
The main reason I want back to 4.1, was the broken Bluetooth Audio, but that also seems to be much improved in 4.2.
Will give rooted 4.2.2 stock a shot then, thanks
I've been on 4.2.2 for a few hours and I must say the wireless appears to be erratic! I'm sitting between 2 APs with same SSID so I don't know if the roaming settings are too aggresive...but seems worse than 4.2 was :thumbdown:
I'm hoping Bluetooth is better than it was as my creative headset would constantly go out of sync on 4.2!

I'm running the latest Paranoid Android 4.2.2 nightly and it's running perfect. The Bluetooth works with the flashable zip fix just fine. I use my sixaxis controller with it and it's flawless. Benchmarks are about the same as before, but I don't really pay attention to them. I would recommend updating, I regret not doing it sooner.

I am actually noticing better WiFi performance with 4.2.2. I don't have to use better WiFi anymore, it switches seamlessly between my 2 routers with the same ssid. 4.2.2 made my nexus 7 run a lot smoother and faster, all around it was a good decision to upgrade.

Bluetooth was pretty much screwed on all devices by 4.2.x. I have a Nexus 7 and a HTC One XL, which I used to tether via bluetooth. This worked perfectly when both devices were on 4.1.2. Now the devices pair and the Nexus 7 claims to be using the One XL for internet connectivity, but it doesn't work and says network unreachable when I ping from terminal.
I never use bluetooth audio on my Nexus, but I do use it on my One XL. That's pretty much screwed since 4.2.x as well, with poor quality and crackling. There's a massive google bug report thread on it, which actually looks like I've not got it as bad as a lot of people!
Where do you find the flashable bluetooth fix? Is it just for Nexus 7?
cyanogenmod 10.1/ 4.2.2 my nexus 7 is now a lot smoother than on 4.2.1!

Hi there,
I use stock 4.2.2 with apex launcher and its the most fluent and rapid thing. Scrolling feels so good. I am new to nexus 7 and JB, but from what i have seen so far im loving it.
In terms of web browsing and performance in general its quite good. I had galaxy tab 2 7" before nexus and it just not match the smotherness and performance of the N7. Its impressive.

Aside from almost having a stroke every time I rotate the screen, specifically on the lockscreen, mine is doing just fine.

Funny, i never use landscape. Only for media play, or some games that come landed by default.
Apart of that, i always use it 'phone-wise'.

Game Lag

Can someone help me?
For the most part, the HTC One is fast. But I have a problem with one game in particular.
Drag Racing
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creativemobile.DragRacing
When the cars take off from the line, it's incredibly slow and cumbersome. I have a couple more observations.
1. It's better on Sense, but still laggy
2. It's terrible on Google Edition
3. It's better when I disable hardware acceleration, but still laggy
4. My Nexus 4, Moto G and Galaxy Blaze 4g work wonderful with this game. No lag at all
Why does the One have so much trouble with this app?

Figured out the GPU is pegged on the One during startup. See pictures below.
